I'll post it on my mainpage since I want to discuss it further. By the way, last night I started reading Zizek's _The Sublime Object of Ideology_.

Quotes are very Benjaminian, tu pense? Et, aussi, tu comprend bien les pensees psychoanalytique du Lacan. <BR/><BR/>Lacan was, in fact, quite influenced by Surrealism, and Sauseurian linguistics, among other things,particuarly Breton, who was of course influenced by Freud, speaking of a chain of signifiers.<BR/><BR/>And yes, the anamorphotic image is an uncanny moment or a space in which the feeling of uncanniness occurs. But I wonder what this means exactly, in relation tot he construction of subjectivity? What does the subject recognize? What is the "signal" Freud would say, I think, one recognizes trauma, or, more precisely, chldhood trauma. <BR/><BR/>Check this out:http://www.long-sunday.net/long_sunday/2006/05/so_all_this_rea.htmlkfd313http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639339748894956092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16812912.post-1148395098364414802006-05-23T07:38:00.000-07:002006-05-23T07:38:00.000-07:00Ah, je ne comprend pas Lacanian Psychoanalysis.<BR/><BR/>This: In this derealized space the split self appears via the anamorphotic image hiding in the representative figure that slips into sight obliquely, by chance or, as Zizek says, by "looking awry." <BR/><BR/>Sounds to me like a bit of the uncanny: "Tell me who you haunt and I'll tell you who you are."<BR/><BR/>Let us turn, then to Breton: "I am concerned, I say, with facts which may belong to the order of pure observation, but which on each occasion present all the appearances of a signal, without our being able to say precisly which signal, and of what; facts which when I am alone permit me to enjoy unlikely complicities, which convince me of my error in occasionally presuming I stand at the helm alone" (Nadja, 19).<BR/><BR/>I also want to connect this to what D&G say about Lacan's signifying chains (38-39, Anti-Oedipus), which begins to turn the uncanny down a more linguistic road: "In a chain that mixes together phonemes, morphemes, etc., without combining them, pap's mustache, mama's upraised arm, a ribbon, a little girl, a cop, a shoe, suddenly turn up."<BR/><BR/>I'm quoting here because I really have nothing to say. Consider, finally, Breton again: "Chirico acknowledged at the time that he could paint only when *surprised* (surprised first of all) by certain arrangements of objects, and that the entire enigma of revelation consisted for him in this word: surprise" (15).sarah ruddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12447051868672763392noreply@blogger.com
